A better way to get the RowPointer from a UpdateCollectionResponseData

Mongoose - 9.01
CSI - 9.00.30
Is there a better way to get the RowPointer from a UpdateCollectionResponseData? It seems like there should be a "GetRowPointer" method but I am currently having to split the ItemID several times to get the value I need. Below is a simplified version of the C# I am using. Please correct my wrongness.

UpdateCollectionResponseData APResponse = Context.Commands.UpdateCollection(APCollection);
foreach (string itemID in APResponse.Items[0].ItemID.Split(' '))
{
string[] k = itemID.Split('=');
if (k[0].Trim() == "apt.ID")
invItem.APRowPointer = k[1].TrimStart('[').TrimEnd(']');
}

What are you intending to do with the RowPointer, e.g. why do you need it?

If you enable the Refresh attribute on the original update request, you will get back the entire IDO collection in the response with previous/new values in the output.

I need it to add in object notes and distributions.

unknown

is there any documentation on this or examples?

unknown

ApCollection.RefreshAfterUpdate = true;

string RowPointer = "";

foreach(IDOItem row in ApResponse.Items)

{

RowPointer = row.PropertyValues.MGGetPropertyValue("RowPointer");

}

You may have to add RowPointer to the list of properties in the IDOUpdateItem object with a modified flag of false.

updateItem.SetOrAdd("RowPointer", "", false);

I think that I am going about this currently a different way than what you are showing. with what you just showed I am getting an error on the foreach loop of "Cannot convert type 'Mongoose.IDO.Protocol.IDOUpdateItem' to 'Mongoose.IDO.Protocol.IDOItem' SRC_TMSInvoiceData"

I don't have any properties set at all for the APCollection. I am creating this with an UpdateCollectionRequestData

UpdateCollectionRequestData APCollection = new UpdateCollectionRequestData("SLAptrxs");

so i tried to call it like this

invItem.APRowPointer = APResponse.Items[i].Properties["RowPointer"].GetValue("");

but I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error

i also tried to add the SetOrAdd("RowPointer", "", false); to the loop but SetOrAdd is not a method for IDOUpdateItem

foreach (IDOUpdateItem row in APResponse.Items)
{
row.SetOrAdd("RowPointer", "", false);

row.PropertyValues.MGGetPropertyValue("RowPointer");
}
